Short term solar irradiance forecasting using sky images based on a hybrid CNN–MLP model
High penetration of photovoltaics (PV) has been observed in the energy market over the last decade. However, its integration into electrical grids is challenging, as solar energy is highly fluctuating given its dependence on different weather variables. Consequently, short-term forecasting of solar...
